Top Producer by Laura Wolfe

When Mara’s dream job turns into her worst nightmare, she realizes it’s not only her livelihood at stake–it’s also her life.

Real estate newbie, Mara Butler, can’t believe her luck when she lands a position with one of Chicago’s top realtors, Jacqueline Hendersen. But Jacqueline’s polished exterior conceals her crooked moral compass and relentless quest to win the prestigious Top Producer Award. Under Jacqueline’s tutelage, Mara earns enough money to pay for her new condo and her sister’s mounting medical bills. Meanwhile, she entangles herself in her mentor’s unorthodox methods of creating business.

When a competing realtor ends up dead, Mara fears she might be Jacqueline’s next victim. Backed into a corner by her involvement in Jacqueline’s scandals, Mara faces a high-stakes dilemma. Will she risk everything she has attained, or play along in Jacqueline’s murderous game? Because there can only be one Top Producer.

Shared Madness by Rick Moskovitz

Shared Madness by Rick Moskovitz

Zack Tripler, a psychiatrist, admits to the hospital Youssef al Saud, an agitated young Saudi American, in the midst of what appears to be a psychotic break. Youssef has been hearing voices and was found hiding with his laptop in the woods from unidentified assailants whom he believes are trying to kill him. He’s found coded messages on the laptop that he suspects portend a terrorist plot.

When Youssef is found dead, either by suicide or murder, Zack develops symptoms similar to Youssef’s, hearing voices and catching glimpses of his dead patient, whom he believes is trying to kill him, then witnesses the murder of another of his patients. He becomes entangled with Youssef’s widow Jamilah in her efforts to solve the mystery of her husband’s death and the coded message on his computer, but nothing in Zack’s world is as it appears as he swings between concern for her safety and suspicion that she is responsible for Youssef’s death and part of the terrorist plot that he suspected.

Zack narrates his own story, his descent into madness, and the terror he endures as he struggles to hang onto the last remnants of his sanity.

About Featured Book: Trinal Academy: Ancient Blood Ties by Erick Phillips

Deeply rooted in ancient Egyptian mythology, Trinal Academy is a tale of hidden secrets passed down through the blood of afflicted children. It explores the internal struggle of finding oneself, whilst fighting for love amidst an attack from the oldest of evils.

In the unassuming town of Ely, there are bizarre traditions and things hidden within the shadows shrouded in myth and folklore. Things that no high school freshman should ever be exposed to. But unfortunately for Elek Barington, not long after his enrollment into Trinal Academy, myth becomes reality, and old tales become his lessons for surviving it.

At the start of the semester, Elek meets Lucinda Nadir and Sahara Clarice, two female students that are as ravishingly beautiful as they are mysterious. They are polar opposites of each other, but there is a magnetizing quality they share that Elek is drawn to from the very beginning.

Shortly following, high profile senior and sorority captain, Rachel Fergusson, is viciously murdered. Prompting a widespread investigation and generating Elek’s intrigue in the three illusive peer clubs offered at Trinal Academy. He keeps hearing about them, but the way that they’re talked about, makes them sound like an Elitist Cult, rather than the ordinary precollege associations that they are marketed as. Elek doesn’t fully understand why they are so highly regarded in the city of Ely, or why every single member brandishes a very large ostentatious ring on their middle finger, but he’s about to. Because Sahara is driven beyond reason to join the very sorority that Rachel belonged to.

This sets a chain of events in motion, and before he can even process it, Elek is thrust into a dark underworld brewing beneath the perfect exterior of his high school. A world where an ancient supernatural quarrel rages on behind the scenes, and Trinal Academy is at the very epicenter of it all. As Elek ventures deeper into the rabbit hole, he discovers things about his family and the history of mother earth, so shocking, that it permanently alters the coarse of his outlook and his future. But Elek isn’t the only one with family secrets, as he discovers that Lucinda and Sahara are much more than meets the eye. And he learns that his destiny is intertwined with theirs in ways that he could never imagine.

Dimmie, realizing at the last that he’s better than he’s been told his whole life, has a change of heart that only serves to put him in Lucky’s crosshairs. When their paths collide on a luxurious New England cruise ship, only one of them can leave the ship alive. Or will he?
From the author of Murder on Deck, Peril in Paradise, and the best-selling Cruise Addict’s Wife series.

The Yellow Dragon by Resa Nelson

A little girl who quells demons. An aging dragonslayer. Can they stop the Yellow Dragon before it destroys an entire nation?

Pingzi Po is the only demon queller in the medieval Far East. So far, she has quelled exactly one demon: Benzel of the Wolf, a dragonslayer from the Northlands. Now, she must act as Benzel’s interpreter when he’s charged with slaying a yellow dragon seen only by an emperor.

But the emperor reveals the Yellow Dragon isn’t an animal—it’s an unidentified citizen in his province, who has threatened to murder the emperor.

Convinced that this unknown citizen is a demon that must be quelled, Pingzi races to unravel the mystery that will reveal the identity of the Yellow Dragon. But can she succeed before the emperor is killed?

If you like original stories, great characters, and plots that twist and turn, then you’ll love Resa Nelson’s page-turning fantasy mystery.
